Three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Edward Albee has died in suburban New York City at age 88.
Albee challenged theatrical convention in masterworks such as Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and A Delicate Balance.'
Personal assistant Jackob Holder says Albee died on Friday at his home on Long Island. No cause of death has been given.
Sharp-tongued humour and dark themes were the hallmarks of Albee's style. In more than 25 plays Albee skewered such mainstays of US culture as marriage, child-rearing, religion and upper-class comforts.
